demo for posting the setlist from elliott's show at the derby on sweet

a short but great electric set :) here are the songs he played:

some song

out again, a passing feeling , coast to coast

belly
up setlist, under the radar extras plus more

thanks to
peter for taking the time to send us the setlist and notes from belly
up show on the 22nd:

it was a
great show! this was my 6th elliott show but my first in several years
so i was extremely excited. the opening band (earlimart) were good but
i never caught their name... on one of their last songs, they said,
"this is for elliott," right before launching in but i didn't
recognize the song - i thought it might be a heatmiser song.... well,
on to elliott's setlist.

it was a
fantastic show! he made it through just about all of them...he also
aborted a new song that was part of the first encore. someone asked
him what it was called and he said "It's called coast to coast.
i didn't get to that part yet." then he started to play just that
line quietly. the new song (i think) that he played during the second
encore was quite good - the lyrics said something about golden st. he
aborted it right at the start but then picked it up again and (i think)
played the whole song. the two covers sounded great!

thanks to
hiland for letting us know that under the radar has posted extra pictures
and questions from elliott's interview that didnt make the issue! go
here to check it out. also the issue is still available still you can
get one by emailing mark: mark@undertheradarmag.com. some extra tibits
in the article is that elliott is even considering releasing an ep of
demos while we wait for the next record which elliott hopes to released
by the end of the year. its really a wonderful article!

finally
thanks to ellen, casey and bill for letting telling know that the northsix
show is sold out so have a good time if you go! (5.24.03)

under
the radar interviews elliott!

thanks to
mark for sending this in that elliott is featured on the cover of latest
under the radar magazine and has an in depth interview with him. here
is mark with more info:

i just thought
that sweet adeline would like to know that we have a big cover story
with elliott smith in the new issue of the magazine. i think it's the
first in-depth interview he's done in awhile and the article basically
fills his fans in with what he's been up to for the last couple of years.
writer marcus kagler, my co-publisher/photographer wendy lynch and myself
basically spent a day hanging out with elliott and his super nice girlfriend
at their house and at his studio. we interviewed him for a couple of
hours, took about 10 or so rolls of film of him and he played us 9 new
songs from his forthcoming album, giving us commentary on each song.
we just got the issue back from the printer yesterday and they're already
available in la at rhino records in westwood, arons records in hollywood
and sea level records in echo park. the issue will be out in the rest
of la (on newsstands and the like) next week and will be available in
the rest of the country in about a week and a half to two weeks in stores
like borders books and music and tower records, as well as at tons of
independent record and book stores. people can also mail order it from
us directly for $5.00 by contacting me: mark@undertheradarmag.com

next week
we should also have bonus elliott smith photos and quotes on our site,
stuff that we simply couldn't fit in the article. when that stuff is
up I'll e-mail you a link to the exact page it's on.

check out
the under the radar site for more info: www.undertheradarmag.com (5.17.03)

steamboat
setlist and pictures plus filter mag!

thanks to
jefrey and brad for taking the time to send us the setlist for recent
benefit show for glynn allen owens at the steamboat on may 3rd. it looks
like elliott has another new song too! here is the setlist:

jefrey also
added this: "the show was incredible. over an hour long set, not
a lot of talking he played a nice mix of old and new. he sounded very
good. also here are some pictures jefrey took of the show!

finally,
word is going around that bookstores are receiving the new issue of
filter magazine with the ray davies interview by elliott. in a interesting
twist ray davies also interviews elliott! some major points in the interview
are: the new record will probably be done in the next couple of months.
it has been almost finished for a long time but elliott "got too
depressed to work on it." it is "99 % not going to come out
on dreamworks." elliott is ready to tour with this record and he
also adds "this one i'm actually going to try to sell." thanks
to laurence for posting this on sweet addy. for more info including
the picture of elliott in the magazine, go here!

p.s. still
working on the new sweet adeline. sorry for not answering emails yet!
i promise when the site is done i will catch up! (5.5.03)
